homonym

homonym
one of two or more identical names denoting different species-group taxa (species or subspecies) within the same nominal genus, or different taxa within the genus-group (genus or subgenus), or family-group (superfamily, family or subfamily). Senior homonyms and junior homonyms are, respectively, the earlier and later published of two homonyms. Primary homonyms are the two or more identical species-group names applied to different taxa in the same nominal genus when first published. If identical species names are erected in identically named but taxonomically distinct genera, the species-group names are not homonyms because the genera are different although homonymous. Secondary homonyms are the two or more species-group names applied to different taxa of the group and included in the same nominal genus as the result of the transfer of one or more of the species-group taxa from another genus
